A Story of Movement & Growth
I grew up in an army family — which meant a new city every two or three years, a new school, a new social terrain. By the time I was 23 I'd lived in eight cities across India, then moved to the US for graduate school, and eventually settled in Jersey City. Ten cities total. Each one left a mark. This is what they taught me.
The Philosophy
Constant movement taught me that adaptability isn't just surviving change, it's thriving through transformation
Navigate Uncertainty
Every new city meant learning new systems, making new friends, and finding new opportunities
Embrace Beginnings
Being the “new kid” repeatedly taught me to approach unfamiliar situations with curiosity, not fear
Build Bridges
Learning to connect with people from vastly different backgrounds and perspectives
